This research shows an analysis of the main motivational models applied to foreign language acquisition and is aimed at identifying the motivational variables that present the highest influence in the strategic acquisition of a foreign language. The questionnaire Autoeficacia y Motivaci車n Acad谷mica was given to a sample of 564 subjects (309 males and 254 females) who were studying 3rd (41.030%) and 4th (28.597%) of Secondary Education and 1st year of High School (30.373%) in two schools of the Comunidad de Madrid (41.7% in a public school and 58.3% in a private school). Results show that values of items related to instrumental motivation are the highest. Females obtained higher results in all factors studied in the same way as the private school with the exception of the variable Perceived Ability which was higher in the public school.
